After school ended on Wednesday, over 50 Frederick Douglass students were greeted with cupcakes and balloons as they entered the gymnasium for this special day. The youth participated in activities including balloon blowing, coloring and a story telling exercise. Volunteers from Dresscode Initiative then unwrapped the clothing that they brought as gifts, and the kids were able to choose from hundreds of scarves, shoes, boots, hats, shirts and pants to take home.
